Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)Ben Carson threw his support behind Donald Trump Friday morning, saying the two men had "buried the hatchet" and
praising the Republican Party's front-runner as a "the voice of the people to be heard."

I saw earlier Carson defending Trumps opinion in possible unrest if the GOP rigs the debate.

So watching CNN just now I realized during a Ben Carson interview that it's possible that he may be the coming choice for VP based on his position of
support for Trump.

This would be welcome news. Ben Carson was always the guy I wanted. At least he could become VP.

I dont think he will. To win the general election, he will have to pick someone that seems reasonable and level headed to centrists that arent bound
to party. So far Trump has shown that he knows what he needs to get votes. Who fits that mold, that is somewhat known and non
establishment?

After most primary victories, Donald Trump singles out Dr. Ben Carson as an extraordinary person and endorser. He did so again tonight, after winning
every county in each of the 5-state Northeast primaries.

I'm starting to think that Donald Trump wants Ben as his Vice President. Ben is smart, but he's also low-key, and won't clash with Donald when
they're both in the White House. That's very important when the President has a big ego and big personality to match.

A devout Christian, who's also African American would also win over a lot of the tepid "She's all we got..:-(" Hillary supporters too, IMO.

Trump is building up the women's vote with Kelly right now, so I'm not sure if he would go for a woman. I think Carson may get a chance if Trump
doesn't pull out something to address the unfounded racist claims. I think it might be a big surprise. I've seen some good cases made for *****.
They seemed to have fun, and I think I saw some mutual respect, especially after Trump passed a compliment.

I can see Carson as VP. I have seen others speculate about Carly, but...eh...I am a woman and did not like her! Carson is an outsider whose calming
almost sedative speech will balance Trump's over the top candor. Though on the otherside of the coin, Trump may need an insider who can be his
go-between with the other branches of government in order to ensure he can accomplish at least some of his goals.

Trump has already said that he would likely have someone experienced in politics as his VP.
I think that's a smart decision.
Supposedly, he is going to announce a list of about 10 possibilities for his VP choice in the coming days.

His choice will need to be someone with experience who will support his decisions and not be too much of an insider to turn off the voters, yet needs
be someone that will attract established party members.
It should also not be someone that is "too" well liked by the established party, or he might have some kind of accident shortly into his term so that
they can get his VP into the presidency.

With his five blowout wins Tuesday night, Donald Trump has passed Mitt Romney’s popular vote total from four years ago and is on a trajectory that
could land him more Republican votes than any presidential candidate in modern history – by a lot.

Trump surged to 9.9 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the northeast and could rise further as the
final votes are counted. That’s already more than 100,000 more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and tens of thousands more than
John McCain earned in 2008.

Trump is certain to pass McCain’s total next week in Indiana, but more importantly, he’s positioned to easily pass the modern record-holder George
W. Bush — who collected 10.8 million votes in 2000. Read more:
